It is PITA, so I suggest to use some sort of GUI app like FREEPBX or http://sourceforge.net/projects/pbxinaflash/. Now, if you have a spare tower that has enough memory, I would suggest to install Vmware Exsi 5.1 on it and then run virtual appliances on it.

Don't be scared, Esxi installs is the easiest thing to do and is FREE. Then you just download the virtual appliances (which are preinstalled virtual machines), load them form the GUI, and click the power on button from the GUI.

The advantage is that you can run one VM dedicated to VOIP, another one as firewall, then another one for VPN, etc, etc. Run as many as you want (as long as you have the sufficient hardware resources). Get them from the marketplace or search the web. For example pbxinaflash has also VMWare version.
